Description

This is a 1/144 Oz Mods Camberra modified for a
T.17 version of 360 sq of RAF.

Oz Mods (from Australia) released the E.E. Camberra
B.2 with 3 different painting versions (1 Australian,1 British and 1
American) but I always wanted make a Camberra in the "hemp" scheme, so I
decided on the T.17 version.

The kit has a nice cockpit and seat and is easier
to build than the Oz mods F-86 I started by sanding the whole kit with
800 to 2000 wet sandpaper and used CA glue in the building process. Mr
Surfacer 1000 took care of mainor repairs and the model was painted with
Gunze acrylics.

I made the new nose with epoxy compound. The flaps
were dropped and I also made several ECM bumps and antennas, and opened
some windows.

For the decals I painted a clear decal film with
red (for the retangular red bars) and yellow colors (for the lightning
bolts) and cut and composed the markings for the EM and WD955 I used
white decadry letters and numbers over the clear decal film.

If you decide to build this kit I just advise you
to put plenty of weight in the nose! This is necessary because the
Canberra plane has short landing gear legs and a good amount of plane is
behind of main landing gear.

I want to say Thanks to Alex Bernardo (for the
info), to Marcelo Sassine (for the digital shots), and to a fellow
HyperScaler who send me a letter with info (sorry lost your name and
e-mail, if possible send me a e-mail with your address), and thanks for
Bruce Scott for sending me this kit and Greg Anderson for making these
kits in 1/144 scale.
